As in any battle you need to stop momentum first. That was the 2010 election...now the battle turns, but we still need reserves to bring up the rear and consolidate advances....THAT is where we need the most help IMO. We can have another Regan but we need avoid the Bush that came afterwords...that's where the Regan revolution went off the tracks.

Ladies and gentlemen, there is this wonderful innovation known as the write-in line. Use it.

I’d call that the elect Obama line.
No thanks. I’m a Palin supporter. She can run in the future.

Hey all you PDS’ers here that we’ve tried to educate: SUCK ON THAT! Shout outs to 2DV and BTM.

We havent engaged in presidential politics yet because the movement hasnt coalesced around anybody, so were just sitting back and waiting,Actually, that is the same thing I said after Cain dropped out. First Sarah (not that she was officially in, but I thought she was, even though she said she wasn't) and I thought the world was over. Took some time, then went 100% behind Cain. Then he dropped out. I feel lost.
Hmmm, I'm zero for zero....perhaps I should get behind barry >:)

We’ve got a looooooooong primary ahead of us. If Newt is thrown out of the lead by attacks from the left (and right), and Mittens starts gaining ground, you’re going to see a MASSIVE grass roots effort get underway to convince Palin to get into the race.
The prospects for this race already look so dismal, that one wonders what’s holding her back. The call of duty ought to be louder than a fire alarm in her ears right now.

Anything, like this, written by Politico should be considered “Democrat Propaganda”.

Anything, like this, written by Politico should be considered Democrat Propaganda. Normally, I'd agree with you, but this just happens to be one of those 'broken clock' posts.
It's a fact that the Republican electorate is nonplussed by our selection of candidates, and that the bulk of Tea Party conservatives are even more-so. Only Sarah Palin can bring the sort of excitement and passion that we need to galvanize the base at this time.
Politico got it right, for once.

All that energy and excitement of the Tea Party movement was just waiting to be let loose on kicking out Obama. But after the mid-terms, the whole GOP establishment, the Karl Roves, the dreary GOP House leadership, the FoxNews talking-heads, all worked together to pour cold water onto all that grassroots vigor, just to help grease the skids for their beloved boy Romney. They subtlely and not-so-subtlely trashed the Tea Party and Palin all year long. Ive grown to despise these bastards with a white-hot passion. If they think they can depend on my lifelong pattern of exclusively voting for the GOP candidate to continue next year as if nothing happened, well, they can just shove Romney up their damned posterior!Bravo! Bravo! Excellent post.
The GOP went all out to utterly destroy Palin and make sure she didn't run. I despise the elites in ways that cannot be written.
The GOP elites are equally as dangerous to our Liberties as the evil left and the Marxist. The GOP elites HATE conservatives infinitely more than they do the RATs.
It reminds me of Braveheart when William Wallace was betrayed by his own Scottish lords. They cared not for Scotland. Wallace did what was just and honorable! He took care of their evil.
These GOP elites must somehow be financially and politically destroyed. They deserve the utmost contempt because they lie outright when they say they desire limited government. The laugh behind our backs when they spew such bromides. One day they will face the reality that they had an equal hand in destroying our beloved Republic.

Welcome to the United Soviet States of America..where the Pravda State Media vet the candidates to the pleasure and needs of the RinoCrat UniParty.
This election will be a non-election...featuring the state approved candidates-whose only distinction is whether they are black or white.
